Bellator 157 ratings: 'Dynamite 2' draws 675,000 viewer average on Spike TV
Eric Bolte-USA TODAY SportsBellator 157: "Dynamite 2" at Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Mo., took place on June 24, 2016, featuring former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Light Heavyweight Champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson going against judo gold medalist Satoshi Ishii.
The main event proved to be something of a draw for Spike TV, attracting 1.04 million viewers and peaking at 1.14 million -- it gained 100,000 viewers during the fight. Jackson won via split decision, but the remainder of "Dynamite 2" wasn't as big of a win as the promotion hoped. The words "lower than originally anticipated" ring eerily true when you look back at the first "Dynamite" card from San Jose.
